I first saw it over on Peppermint Bliss (surprise, surprise) since she's using it for a new client. Here's her vision for it:

I wish I could copy every.single.element. But that would be over a billion dollars.

Then look at this table perfection:

Equally obsessed with the pairing of staffordshire dogs all over the table. You can find those here. I'm snatching up some pairs immediately for the new house. They'd be quite comfy up in there.

Here's my take on the whole situation-- I'm thinking mrs. zebra (bc she's sophisticated) would be a perfect match for the dining room. My mom is handing me down her dining room table that's mr. duncan phyfe's twin. (Look a like pictured--->)

Then I snatched up two of these via Ballard because they are on major sale.

And mrs. zebra would look MIGHTY fine on them. Don't you think? Those would go on the end as "host chairs" and then I need 4 others. Just so happens I scooped up 4 vintage dining chairs at an estate sale (you know, during my hoarding phase). I don't have a picture of them but these are similar:

Ours are in pretty bad shape so I need to get them painted and reupholstered majorly. I love the look of this velvet fabric paired with mrs. zebra:

I'm stopping mid-blog because I'm jetting off to the house to check on the TILE and then meeting Lauren & my BFF Henry for lunch!!!

Picking lights for a house is E-X-H-A-U-S-T-I-N-G. And by far the hardest decisions we've had to make. I couldn't even deal with ceiling fans and just told the builder to pick what they thought was best #fingerscrossed. But choices have been made and details finalized SO I shall give you a sneak peek.

ENTRYWAY:

STAIRWAY SCONES:

DINING ROOM:

KITCHEN:

BREAKFAST ROOM:

GUEST BATHROOM:

MASTER BATHROOM:

CASH'S BATHROOM:

Refresher---> to be paired with

blue penny tile

sailboat wallpaper

Speaking of wallpaper, I have some in my POSSESSION. Here's a little snippet of the powder room walls. (Don't wanna give too much away you know, gotta make that it's own story)

Or is it game room? Who really knows. All I know is I've missed you. And that I have the cutest 3 month old baby- but that's besides the point. For his (and future bambinos) play area, I chose to go with this rug:

Paired with a sectional because I hear it's pretty much mandatory in those vicinities and there may or may not be some football watching during play time. So we could go with splurge and recover one in this perty velvet fabric:

OR go with my trusty friend West Elm:

But imagine bigger. And rectangular.
In the midst of all this will sit this number:

And finally Cash's toys will be stored in the IKEA Expedit shelf but painted:
